Hopsford Valley Aqueduct No 20 
Withybrook Lane, Shilton CV7 9JL, United Kingdom
Hopsford Valley Aqueduct No 20 carries the road from Reading to Blackburn over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) near to Tiverworth.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
